Tennessee Town To Lose Prestige As Gretna Green Bristol, Tenn., Mar. 11. — (U.E — Young sweethearts lu Virginia planning to elope here or Cumberland Gap and get married must do it before July Ist. for then the new Tennessee marriage law becomes effective. The law provides that persons under 21 must apply for their license five days before the ceremony and notice of application must be forwarded to all parents. Young couples almost traditionally eloped here to marry and escape the Virginia law prohibiting marriage of persons under 21 without parental consent. —.—o —; Get the Habit —Trade at Home, It Pays — o- < OMMISSIONHH'S ILLOWANCES FOR Mtl« II Port Wayne PtK Co.
